  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs (about 1 kg) chicken wings, tips removed and cut at the joints
  • 1/2 cup Peri Peri sauce or seasoning for marinade
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: lime wedges, fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Preparing Your Chicken Wings: Start by thoroughly washing your chicken wings under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. If they aren’t already, cut the wings at the joints and discard the tips. This ensures they cook evenly.

2. Making the Peri Peri Marinade: Combine 1/2 cup of Peri Peri sauce with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. The key here is the Peri Peri sauce; its flavors infuse the chicken, creating a depth of taste that’s irresistibly spicy and tangy.

3. Marinating the Wings: Toss the chicken wings in the marinade until they’re fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight is best. This allows the Peri Peri flavors to fully penetrate the chicken.

4. Air Frying the Wings: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, making your wings tender on the inside and crisp on the outside.
